Lourenço Reynolds de Sousa

Hi, I’m Lourenço from Lisbon, Portugal but actually I’m living in Barcelona where I have just finished the Full-Time MBA at ESADE. My previous academic background is on Electrical and Computer Engineering and professionally before the MBA I have reached the position of senior project manager at Efacec, an Energy Multinational Company. Now I´m currently working at Tesla in a Business Development position to help the company on its mission of transforming the world into a big sustainable ecosystem.

As a person I can describe myself as being responsible, passionate, assertive, flexible, collaborative and friendly but also can get very serious if someone cross the line J

My prefer hobbies are staying with friends and discuss every day topics. I also love to play outdoor sports (especially tennis, sailing and running) and travel to new places in order to meet new people and increase my cultural awareness at various levels. I also like to be challenged and live new experiences.

Some interesting facts about my life: I’m the youngest of 6 siblings having a 25 years difference from the older and 18 from the younger.
With 3 Interrails I have visited nearly all Europe on a very limited budget. I have worked in Algeria during 4 years and spend a summer in Senegal and Gambia. I have walked the Portuguese “Camino de Santiago” for more than 100Km in 3 days.

As personal objective for life, I think we should always believe in ourselves and grab the opportunities life gives us to learn and grow at all levels. If we have passion and the right motivation I believe everything is possible!

Patryk Rudnicki

While working in strategy consulting is quite time consuming, I always try to visit some new places in my free time, even on a short weekend trip. Barcelona is special to me, each year after graduation I come back at least once in the summer months. Being a ski lover, I'm used to spend a couple of weeks a year in mountains over the winter period. Professionally I advise clients mainly from retail and consumer products industries on the issues of strategic importance, focusing on customer experience and operations excellence.

Mrdjan Uzelac

MBA 2012

I am originally from Belgrade, and grew up in Yugoslavia, Germany and Canada. Different cultures have always been a key part of my life, which attracted me to ESADE in the first place. Now I am keen to foster the ESADE spirit in Hamburg by helping create a vibrant local alumni community.

I have been working for various technology companies in Canada and Germany for over 15 years. As a business developer I specialize in setting up strategic partnerships for software products and services, such as payment, accounting & HR, and ecommerce solutions.

I graduated in Computer Science from the University of Toronto, where I also completed a Master in German Literature. I moved back to Europe for the ESADE MBA which then brought me to Hamburg in 2012, where I’ve been since.

I enjoy discovering different places near and far, and especially the many things Hamburg has to offer - whether eating, socializing or checking out the many happenings in the city. I play tennis and the cajon, and try to sail and ski whenever time permits.
